No poll?One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

If the medical staff clears Eddie to play you play him. Also, I will be at the game in my Lacy jersey.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

I vote yes I want to see him play. Should he play or not is another poll."Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

You might need to use a Mulligan on that poll for lack of including the catch-all "Other" as the last choice.
For instance, I would like to see Gonzo Harris activated and take 33% of the carries on Monday night. Whoever takes the 67% balance is not a real issue with me, unless Lacy is indeed incapacitated by injury, or at least discomfort which could hamper his performance or become a health issue in subsequent games. Then, Lacy should have 0% carries.
Or we could promote Johnny Crockett from the practice squad and allow him a few carries as well. I'm good with that too.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football."

I have to ask: why 33%?Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View Post
Is that just high enough for a good sample size, or to decrease load on Starks or banged up Lacy? None of the above?
For the poll, Eddie has another stretch of a season where he was limping on a bad wheel. Would like a week off to let this thing heal.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Obviously none of us have enough information to know the risks, but I'd lean on the side of caution. It's a long season. A fresh Starks is alright. There's no rush, but in the long run, a healthy Lacy is very important to our SB chances.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

If he is healthy then yes if not NO.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

If his ankle is bad enough to be a thing, it's a safe assumption he wont be "healthy" by monday.Originally posted by Tony Oday View Post
Lacy played on bad ankle for a stretch last season. (Or was it year before?) Didn't practice during week. It can be done, but is it smart?
My guess is he plays. That's the way of the NFL.Comment

I was messing with Harlan. Seriously, if Lacy isn't 100%, I wouldn't mind a Starks/Harris running game.Originally posted by pbmax View PostOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.

Unless he's very healthy, let him rest. Since our medical staff tends to play it cautious, if they clear him then he's good to go.Go PACKComment
